Want to the know the original title given to this story by Varalotti??? It was...

Appearances!

Varalotti confesses that "I was not as creative as the gracious ladies of IndusLadies in choosing a title. I drain all my creativity in building up the story and just choose any random word that comes to my mind as the title".

Special Thanks once again to all those who sent in their entries. Good luck to WIN in the future contests to come.

Accept my hearty congratulations, Prathi. You very well deserve the prize as your title is very suggestive and creative to the point of being poetic. I am even thinking of hiring you as my 'Titles Consultant' for I am not very good at giving titles. I drain my creativity in the story that when it comes to titles I just sign off with whatever comes to my mind. For example the title I had originally given to this story in Tamil was "Appearances" (Thotrangal).
Well done, Prathi.
